Afternoon , what scissors does everyone recommend for cutting braid hook lengths . All my scissors ( including gardener braid blades ) are as blunt as feck and leaving frayed ends .

I tried a few from tackle firms (none of them last) before going to the local craft shop and buying a proper pair of scissors. Still going strong 5 years later. No idea what brand they are.

Tried them all and the best by far are the new thinking anglers ones.They cut and leave no fraying and I like the built in stripper tool and puller on the top

Best I've used are ones that are unfortunately not readily available.
They are used by telecom engineers who use them to cut through the Kevlar braid that's used in fibre cables.
Not seen them on general sale but if I ever do I'll let others know.

Hi Andy
I'm not a braid user, but my old fishing partner was, he used electrical cable cutters, they were Stanley, maybe something to look into???

That's what I have used for many years, or at least ones for electronics.
Still use them now but after several years use they are starting to leave a stand or two sometimes.
My wife's hair cutting scissors also work well.
Never felt the need to pay carp tax just for a name.

second vote for the new thinking anglers ones. Only had them a short while, but they seem very good at cutting braid and the puller and stripper tool are very helpful
I use some scissors at work for cutting metal braid not tried them on braid tho
They are made by ox and are super sharp
Edit : ox pro snips on Amazon 👍
